Teaching in Maldives
Posted: Fri Mar 11, 2016 12:53 pm
Anybody have any experience of this? I only know people that have been there on vacation!
I've just been offered a job there out of the blue. It includes accommodation, but other than being told it will be on par with the salary for other foreign teachers I don't have any more information about how much that is. My friend reckons it could be on the low side ($5000), but I'm not too sure. I was hoping it would be nearer what's on offer somewhere like the Seychelles.
Am I likely to be able to support a family over there, or is it more of a hardship type position? It's also in the capital, so I have concerns about the availability of beer! (been told it's like Kuwait, apart from the holiday islands). Any help much appreciated.
